* With the end of the Terra Australis Incognita series, Shame File takes a step back in time to re-release NMATAPES.

Ten issues of NMA Magazine were published from 1982-92. Each magazine was accompanied by a cassette featuring music documented in the magazine. These cassettes covered a varied cross-section of experimental, electronic and new music from Australia produced over this period. Rainer Linz of NMA Publications has granted permission to Shame File Music to make these tapes available as free downloads or on CDR (for trade only).

NMATAPES 1 is now available for free download from the Shame File Music site. Originally released in 1982, the first release in the series covers computer music, improvised work and computer controlled piano pieces from that time. Highlights include Jon Rose's 19 string cello workout "Don't Panic" and two rather funky Essendon Airport tracks. Also featured are works by Warren Burt, David Hirst, John Jenkins, Alistair Riddell and more. A CD cover is included in the download that features the tape's original liner notes as well.

The other nine NMATAPES will follow in the coming months.
